Like most, I had a bike as a kid. I was heavily involved into court/ball sports though. In college, I had to get/ride a bike to rehab a knee injury. Never really biked after that until I had kids. Got a hybrid/trailer and pulled them around for a few years. Another injury finally pushed me out of the other sports for good in my early 40s. So, I became a cyclist and put a lot of miles on the hybrid. Rode a metric century on that bike. Then I went to Goodwill and picked up an old road bike. My wife was a runner, so I also became a runner. then she wanted to do multi sport so I did some of that also. Now I'm almost 59. Mostly run and bike. The bike industry is not going the direction I want/need it to go, so I'm stuck in C & V ville. Nothing wrong with that. It keeps me from being a "serious cyclist."
